Rays option Vidal Brujan back to Triple-A
The Tampa Bay Rays optioned prospect Vidal Brujan to Triple-A Durham.
Brujan hit just .077 with 3 runs, 2 RBI, a stolen base, and 8 strikeouts over 10 games for the Rays in his first taste of the big leagues. He will likely earn another call-up at some point this season. Joey Wendle is playing second base on Thursday and hitting fifth while Wander Franco covers the hot corner and hits third. Taylor Walls is entering the lineup to hit ninth and play shortstop.
numberFire’s models project Wendle for 10.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,300 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays have the fourth-highest implied total (4.9 runs) out of the 16 teams playing on tonight's main slate. Quantrill has the second-worst strikeout rate (16.6 percent) among Thursday's listed starters.
